I like that analogy, but despite my well-known liking for the MkIV`s, Continuations etc, I`m on the side of the Thames Ditton cars on this.
So yes, it`s your 50th birthday party, but it isn`t your kids` 50th birthday too, is it? Only the birthday boy gets the bumps, it`s the rest of us that need to hoist him up!
Whilst supporting the event in
ANY AC would be great, and to be encouraged, You didn`t get Jaguar XK120`s or XK8`s parading at Silverstone with the E-Types.
You couldn`t race your MkIV alongside a MkII or MkIII Cobra in Historic formula racing.
What we don`t need is people who don`t own a T.D Cobra being told to "
Eff Off" with their "
piece of sh*t" as was heard by my Dad at the Haynes Day! (Some did too, and I don`t blame them.)
Don`t forget that it`s also the GTO`s anniversary next year too, so there needs to be a serious effort to pull together as many Cobras as possible at the Big events like The Silverstone Classic, Goodwood (FOS & Rev) etc. and win the Cobra-Ferrari war!
